About the command-line switches

The Windows Installer program’s command-line switches can be used together with the Meridian package arguments to further control the installation, such as for display, restart, logging, and repair options. For example, use the /quiet switch to install a product without user interaction. Refer to the Windows Installer help (msiexec /help or /?) for the additional command-line switches supported. For a list of the values supported by the ADDLOCAL property, see Installing or removing optional components.

Refer to the following example for the syntax to use all of the Meridian options provided in the Windows Installer Packages:

msiexec /i "C:\Temp\BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise.msi" LWSFOLDER="C:\BC-WorkSpace\" 
EDMSERVERNAME="Rainier" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian" WEBACCESSURL=
"http://Rainier/Meridian/Start" ADDLOCAL="Common,AMHook,Download,Viewer,DBX,PUC,Acad2013,
Inventor" TRANSFORMS="1053.mst" /quiet /norestart /log "C:\Temp\BCME2013-Setup.log"

Note    The install options and properties (following /i above) must be followed by the display options (/quiet above), restart options (/norestart above), and log options (/log above) for the installation to work.

This example will result in the following:

• Meridian Enterprise will be installed
• The local workspace folder will be set to C:\BC-WorkSpace\
• The default Meridian application server name will be Rainier
• The program will be installed in folder C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian
